Description
Note: Original video file has been edited for clarity. In this panel discussion at North Florida Community College, five notable educators from Madison and Monticello, Florida talk about education during segregation and after integration. Dr. Walter L. Smith moderates as they each talk about their respective backgrounds, early and post-secondary education, and how they came to be educators during the Civil Rights Movement. They discuss Brown v Board of Education, their memories of before and after the decision, statewide and nationwide experiences of these years, as well as other historical encounters.
